City girls basketball roundup: Monterey gets back on track in 4-4A with 69-26 rout

Frenship's Blaire Barker drives to the basket around Lubbock High's Krystal Applegate during their game at Frenship High School on Tuesday. Frenship won, 44-32.

Monterey blew past San Angelo Lake View for a 69-26 District 4-4A victory.

The Lady Plainsmen controlled the game from the get-go, dealing Lake View a slim four-point quarter to their 18 point start. Monterey coach, Jill Schneider said she was impressed with her teams’ rebounding skills which she said helped set the tempo for the game.

“We did a particularly good job on boards at both ends,” Schneider said, “Karolyne McMillian rebounded well and it gave us the ability to score a bit more in transition than we had done in the last couple of ball games.”

McMillian also led the team in scoring with 12 points, followed closely by Libby Sloan who tallied 11.

Monterey will play Lubbock High at the Westerner Arena at 6 p.m. Friday.

The No. 6 Lady Pirates jumped out to a big lead and never looked back, crushing Andrews 72-45 for a District 2-3A victory.

Katy Boren led the Lady Pirates with 21 points, six of them three-pointers.

Cooper hit four 3-point goals in the first quarter and hit four more in the second quarter, causing Andrews to re-think their 2-3 zone defensive strategy. Cooper’s Taylor Parr scored 14 points, while Claire Shaver added 10.

Kaitlin Steele and Liz-Aimee Guevara led Andrews with 15 and 16 points, respectively.

Cooper improves to 25-3, with their only losses coming to Canyon, Witchita Falls Ryder and Estacado. The Lady Pirates will travel to Seminole on Friday and play at 6 p.m.
